Preseeding

[Laurent COOPER]

Hello

I've just tried deepin linux and I'm really impressed by the work done

We are deploying linux desktop in an academic context. Actually, we are using debian, but having a more recent kernel would be great.

Debian is really admin-friendly because the installation is fully automated thanks to the preseed mecanism

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed

Our preseed file are dynamically generated through php and sent via ipxe. We just need to register mac adress in order to deploy a computer in a few minutes.

Deepin seems to lack a preseed possibility for installation.

Preseeding would be a great great advance for massive deployement : academic, enterprise, and labs

Any plan to develop such a scheme in a near future ?

Another possibility would be to install debian and then modify source list to convert to deepin. But we would loose the recent kernel functionnality.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Laurent
